Local Tea Party co-founder arrested in prostitution sting

A founder of a Sumner County Tea Party group and a Nashville councilman were arrested Thursday and charged with patronizing prostitution.

Matthew Moynihan, a founder of Sumner United for Responsible Government (SURG), and Metro Councilman Brady Banks were caught in a prostitution sting operation after answering an online ad for escort services.

Moynihan, 38, of Hendersonville, went to a hotel at 250 Athens Way and allegedly agreed to have sex with an undercover police officer for $100 for half an hour, according to a police affidavit.

Also arrested during the operation was Jyotin Arora from Hermitage.
